If you mean Old Time Radio Researchers, here's their general contact page:

http://www.otrr.org/pg10_contact.htm

There's also this site: http://tennesseebillsotr.com/otr/CBSRMT/
which makes the shows available in both full format with original commercials and edited, without the dated ads. Site's host recommends a batch file downloader for large files.

This site has in-depth details of each episode:
http://radiogoldindex.com/cgi-local/p2.cgi?ProgramName=The+CBS+Radio+Mystery+Theatre

(note that they list only 805 episodes, wondering if this is a reference to the many re-plays per season; I found this duplication problem on the OTRR sets of of X Minus One)

Frankly, downloading all of the episodes isn't worth the bother unless you're a hardcore fan. A lot of the writing just isn't of golden-age quality. Hour-long episodes don't improve upon the sharpness of the half-hour (or less) versions of some of the same stories on shows like Suspense, Escape, Dimension X, and others. I've personally just downloaded the ones with stars I like such as Mercedes McCambridge and Agnes Moorehead.

hi,

i do have the all the episodes online for downloading. in addition, i have a selection of the shows that were encoded from the afts disks that is great for listening.

if you want to download the entire collection, i have a download manager on my download page (if you don't have one already). just check the options when you install it. you probably don't want to set your browsers home page to my site, you probably don't want to install the software updater program... although i have been told the updater works well.

the main site address is http://TennesseeBillsOTR.com the cbsrmt files (original and the ones encoded from vinyl) are on the download page.
